Here's a Sweetwater refresher on tonewoods: whether you're talking drum shells or electric guitars, maple makes an exceptionally musical foundation. It has a fast, explosive response that's also very dynamic, allowing the subtle details of your performance to shine through. The Catalina Maple shell pack delivers a wide-ranging tone that's suitable for any musical style, making it a perfect addition to the recording studio.
The Catalina Maple takes sonic cues from Gretsch kits of antiquity. Rounded 30° bearing edges maximize the surface area between the hoops and shells for a dry, punchy response.
